Was FR down?

I just listened to a replay of the hearings. Here is what I think was the most offensive thing Nifong said during the second hearing on the motion to quash the release of information about the unindicted players.

Nifong: If the defendants prevail in this particular motion, then the State will certainly have to come to the court and provide a request to the Court for the information with respect to these home addresses and everything so we can subpoena these people as witnesses. I think that we’re entitled to that.

These people were witnesses whether they want to be here or not. And they don’t have you know anything other than the Fifth Amendment right at this point not to incriminate themselves because they’re not charged with any offense.

And I know that it looked sometimes over the course of the last few months as if some of these attorneys were almost disappointed that their clients didn’t get indicted so they could be part of this spectacle here in Durham. But that’s the situation.

We only indict based on our evidence. We can’t indict everybody. But we are entitled to present a case to the citizens of Durham whereby they can determine what occurred in this case.

Absolutely incredible that he got away with this bullsh*t.

I kept getting the "page can't be displayed" thing for a while. So it must have been.

Nifong is an idiot who just keeps embarrassing the state of NC everytime he opens his smirking mouth. He thinks he's intimidating while the rest of the country is laughing at him.
